Algorithms that control the computational processes
relating sensors and actuators are indispensable for robot navigation and
the perception of the world in which they move. Therefore, a deep
understanding of how algorithms work to achieve this control is essential
for the development of efficient and usable robots in a broad field of
applications. An interdisciplinary group of scientists gathers every two
years to document the progress in algorithmic foundations of robotics.
This volume addresses in particular the areas of control theory,
computational and differential geometry in robotics, and applications to
core problems such as motion planning, navigation, sensor-based planning,
and manipulation.
